analysis was only able to identify a difference between the ski designs for one of theperformance parameters, peak roll.Statistical analysis was able to identify the expected difference between skiers for all ofthe performance parameters. In addition, based on the success rate results each subjectachieved their expected level of performance. The subject with the highest success ratewas amongst the top three highest for 10 of the 11 performance parameters and thesubject with the lowest success rate was amongst the bottom two in all 11 parameters.The hypothesis that the performance parameters are dependent on each other wassupported by the quantitative results. In the skiers included in this study, those that wereable to produce higher peak roll and integration of roll were able to produce more skiacceleration and deceleration. These same skiers also had a higher success rate in theslalom course.6 AcknowledgementsFor simplicity, all acknowledgements can be found after the main title page of this thesis.7 ReferencesFor simplicity, a master reference list was used and can be found after Chapter 6.112
